The GOP's a joke

Sen. Larry Craig -- he of the "wider stance" being the latest Republican caught literally with his pants down -- has moved the Republican Party one dirty old man closer to becoming a joke. Craig, a not particularly distinguished senator from Idaho, who has mostly built his reputation on being a paragon of virtues and "family values," has furthered the hypocrisy of the holier-than-thou phonies.
Conservatives claim double standards; they say when Democrats get involved in monkey business, they get away with it. Maybe, but aren't "lefties" generally deemed by their opponents to be committed to the degradation of society? However, Craig et al. have established themselves as superior in their values and faith, their proximity to God and their knowledge of His intentions. One cannot adopt a firm stance on public morals while adopting a "wider stance" in public toilets in the hope of soliciting same-gender sex.
